Hi, I've syncing my local mirror today and seems to be duplicated packages of 'any' architecture on i686 directory

for example kde-l10n-de-4.3.0-1-any.pkg.tar.gz is respectively on any dir and i686 dir

See the log of pkgsync on [1]:

db-clean should fix that iirc, can others mirrors admin checks if this still happening? I reviewed mirror.archlinux.com.ve on 'any' [2] architecture and 'i686' [3], 'x86_64' [4] and as I said 'any' packages still existing on other repos.

Thanks

The -any packages are symlinked into x86_64 and i686, so it's a bug in the way mirrors sync the repositories.

Should we announce this somewhere?
I don't think we have email addresses of mirror admins.
Or is this a case where community can handle it better?
(i.e. annoy local mirror admins to fix their mirrors)

One thing, -a option includes -rptl so... I vote for change the script to -av instead -rptlv, what do you say?

I vote for an announcenment of this for the mirror admins, they are free to fix their scripts and save space or not. I think Gerhard should be assigned to this bug too, cause when my mirrors are failing or something, he is who contact me..

Cheers

from man page:
-a, --archive archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)

We don't need -goD
(lol, funny sentence :P)
